Default Toyota or Honda



I'm really close to buying either a Corolla or a
Camry. But the closer I get to making a decision, the
more I start thinking about the Honda Civic or Accord.

I plan on owning the car for 10 or 15 years. Of
the four, which do you think will be most mechanically
reliable with regard to the engine, automatic tranz,
suspension, etc.: Corolla, Civic, Camry, or Accord?

Thanks for any tips.

I have heard of both Honda and Camry transmissions failing at around 175,000
miles if they are not serviced properly. I have not heard that problem with
Corollas.

If you really want to keep the car for that long I would
take camry or accord. They will last longer than the
cheaper counterparts, and the cost of owning will be
pretty much the same spread over so many years.
Also - think about the quality of the experience you will
have with bigger, more comfortable cars like camry
or accord over cheaper and smaller civic/corolla.
For me the choice would be simple :-)

LOL! How old are you?

TOyota seems to be going after the aging Baby-Boomer market, whereas Honda
seems to be thinking a little younger.

I like the Matrix, but I also went to look at a Civic Coupe and an Accord
Coupe (I like 2 doors. I'm a big guy and bang my shoulders getting in and
out of 4-doors)

The Civic is a little more sporty, as is the Accord, than their Toyota
counterparts.

Another car I am considering is the Scion tC, sort of a cross between a
Celica and a Camry.

You can also still find Civics and Accords made in Japan. You'll have to
hunt, but they are available.

IMO, Corolla and Civic will last just as long and be equally reliable with
proper care. I know people who have put as many miles on those cars as
have been put on Accords and Camrys. The 4-bangers, in particular, of all
4 cars are damn near indestructible.

Either brand you will be happy. I would wait for the 07 Camry's because they
look like the Lexus IS...

Around here, Hondas are the favored gang vehicle.

No, any vehicle will last a lot longer if serviced properly although
Corollas seem to have fewer issues with things like noises, transmissions,
suspension parts, etc.. That said, if you want to keep any vehicle for 10
or 15 years, you need to do regular maintenance.
